GEN. GRANTS LOVE LETTERS.
A short Chat with Col. Fred Grant-tn
Interesting Diary.


Interesting Diary.
CHANGING to meet Col. Fred Grant tho
other day asked him regarding the vol
umes Of his fathers unpublished diaries
and papers which it has been announced
he was engaged upon for publication. a
casual inquiry soon revealed the fact that
the paragraph in question was some
whit pIemature-by about a few years,
at least.
''The only literary work" said Col
Grant, upon which | may he said 10 be
engaged concerning my father is this:
Every day | devote an hour or more 10
taking down my mothers "reminiscences
of him These mostly relate to incidents
and events in my fathers life during his
tour around the world. and which were
not embodied in Mr.. John Russell loung's
description of that journey. My father
never related those incidents to any one,
and my mother now tells them To me for
the first time 10 anybody. They are,
many of them. exceedingly interesting be
ing purely of personal character, and
full of what is called spice. have now
nearly l.5oo foolscP pages filled with
memorandums of these "reminiscences OF
nv mother. She has also dictated To me
n great many things in fathers early life
which are not known TO the public, and
has given me, too, several important
documents never published as yet"
What is il your purpose Ia do with
these | asked.
Il do not knew whether the public will
ever want these off hand "reminiscences,
hut they will he of value to my children,
and for their sake am chiefly doing the
collecting and editing Of them. Father
was in the habit of telling mother numer-
Gus things about men and events which
We're never impaired To others. Many Of
them express his opinions of men and
measures which he withheld even from
his closest friends. II is possible that
may at some time publish these reco,-
'ections of mothers. hut certainly not at
present. -Nou know my contract with the
Websters provides that | shall not publish
anything about father until May, 1889. or
three years from last May. What | shall
do when this date expires l cannot al
present say"
Did your father leave with your moth
er any other valuable papers besides the
documents yuu speak off,
YES, | have diary left by him to

out the curious fact that the United

THE BEST MEDICAL writers claim that
the successful remedy for nasal catarrlI
must be non-irrtating, easy of application,
and one that will. by its own action. reach
all the remote sores and liberated surfaces.
The history of the efforts to treat Catarrll
during the past few years ObligeS Us To all
nit that only one remedy has completely
met these conditions, and that is Ely'>
Cream Balm. This safe and pleasant rem
edy has mastered catarrh rs nothing else
has ever done. and both physicians and pa
tients freely concede this fact. The more
distressing symptoms quickly yield to it.
